Twelve campus research teams have been named recipients of the annual Translational Seed Awards. These awards advance applied R&D efforts from UMass-based faculty research groups towards the development of spin-out/startup companies and the out-licensing of UMass intellectual property.
ART STRP recipients participated in MALSI Day, the biggest day for life sciences startups and innovation in MA. This event brought together scientific leaders and business experts to mingle with scientists, post-docs, professors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and venture capitalists.
In July the Accelerating Research Translation (ART) team successfully hosted a workshop titled, “Telling Your Story with Confidence” at the IALS Conference Center. This inaugural ARTISAN event brought together undergraduate scientists and engineers to develop their own professional introductions, practice storytelling with peers, and learn about the ARTISAN network - an initiative connecting undergraduate students to promote research for the public good. The session also facilitated cross-program connections among UMass Amherst students in REUs, the LeeSIP program, and IALS Core Summer
Heather Aiken, program manager for the NSF Accelerating Research Translation program, was one of four students representing UMass Amherst at the 2025 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) Workshop in DC.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced that seven campus research teams have been named recipients of the annual Translational Seed Awards.
